While addressing the meeting, PM Khan said that the government has no connections with the arrest of Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) leader Rana Sanaullah.

“Politic of revenge is not the ideology of PTI,” he said.

The premier reiterated that the national institutions and courts are now working independently in Pakistan. “Those facing cases should answer to courts. Opposition leaders want to divert the nation’s attention from their crimes by levelling baseless allegations against the government.”
